Hi Hioridge,

Just in case reply suggestions #2 & #3 above will not allow this Model A to start:

Sometimes, in trying to help someone not very mechanically inclined, (and many times, perhaps not very electrically inclined), to avoid having unknown loose wires and sparks around a dash mounted Model A fuel tank ......... Question: Is he a good friend, (maybe next door to your house), that you really care about? .......... or not really?

Not trying to be funny .... but if it is the switch that is not functioning & if it were me, (with a non-mechanically inclined friend), I would call Bratton's to order a number "16320" temporary Model A replacement ignition switch for about $20.00 that may save your friend's Model A, his family, and his house.

The cheep-cheep-cheep make-do route can often times do more harm than good.

My second son's wife's parents' house burned to the ground last night ..... apologies for being abrupt, but I am sort of in a "Life Safety Mood" this morning.
